Abstract: Manufacturing equipment and manufacturing process steps that improve upon prior art processes for the manufacturing of filament tube and arc tube light sources, their components and subassemblies, and lamps employing said light sources. A double ended, tipless filament tube or arc tube light source incorporates a drawn-down tubular body, and one piece foliated leads with spurs for process handling and for spudding into a filament with stretched-out legs. Bugled ends on the body provide a novel cutoff means, facilitate a flush-fill finishing process, and enhance mounting and support of the light sources in lamps. The foliated leads are made from a continuous length of wire in a process including foil hammering and two-bath AC electrochemical etching. Cost-reduced light source and lamp production enables affordable household consumer lamps, even when containing two series-connected halogen filament tubes. Safety benefits ensue from series connection, especially in combination with disclosed body and filament constructions.

Tower-shaped cathodes are formed in the respective openings of the upper and lower silicon oxide films and of the withdrawn electrode. Each of the cathodes has a sharply tapered tip portion having a radius of 2 nm or less, which has been formed by crystal anisotropic etching and thermal oxidation process for silicon. The region of the silicon substrate exposed in the openings of the upper and lower silicon oxide films and the cathode have their surfaces coated with a thin surface coating film made of a material having a low work function.

Abstract: In a multi-emitter electron gun of a field-emission type constructed by the integrated circuit technique, each emitter comprising an emission electrode having an emissive point, an extracting gate electrode, and a focusing electrode, the focusing electrode in a peripheral zone of the multi-emitter electron gun is brought to a lower electric potential as compared with that in a central zone so that the emitter in the peripheral zone has a beam convergence higher than that of the emitter in the central zone. Instead, the focusing electrode in the peripheral zone has a greater thickness as compared with that in the central zone. Alternatively, the focusing electrode in the peripheral zone has a smaller aperture as compared with that in the central zone. Alternatively, the interval between the extracting gate electrode and the focusing electrode is wider in the emitter in the central zone as compared with that in the peripheral zone. Alternatively, the emitter in the peripheral zone alone comprises the focusing electrode of two layers with an upper-layer focusing electrode kept at an electric potential lower than that of a lower-layer focusing electrode. Alternatively, the emitter in the central zone alone further comprises an electrode located between the extracting gate electrode and the focusing electrode and brought to an electric potential substantially equal to that of the extracting gate electrode.

Abstract: A flat display apparatus has a substrate, a plurality of pointed cathodes formed on the substrate, a planar anode facing toward the cathodes via a vacuum space, and a light emitting layer on the side of the anode which is opposite from the cathodes. The anode has a plurality of projections in positions corresponding to the cathodes. The anode projections reduce electron scatter to improve light emission from the light emitting layer. In another embodiment of the flat display apparatus, a plurality of electron sources are disposed on the substrate and positioned relative to one another in an alternately staggered vertical positional sequence toward a light emitting member so that electrons are successively amplified. In a further embodiment of the flat display apparatus, wherein a plurality of electron sources are disposed on the substrate, an electrode faces toward the electron sources, and a light emitting member is provided on a side of the electrode opposite and facing away from the substrate, the electron sources include a primary electron source for generating primary electrons and a secondary electron source for amplifying primary electrons from the primary electron source due to a malta effect.
